[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, the top teams are lined with donors, buddies and parents ingrained in the Office Above comment makes me wonder. While I'm sure there is some of that going on within the club as a whole, aren't sports really the great equalizer? My kids are fast, agile, athletic, tall and strong. Both of us former athletes, not big donors, not volunteers. But the phone rings with coaches wanting them on the team--- seriously if your kid is good, they find you. [/quote] Technique plus athleticism will be equalizer in coming years. Donor/buddy kids---many can barely keep the ball at their feet, but at 8-11 they are most physical. They do get cut around 13 and the "loyal" parents are stunned their money and influence doesn't work anymore.[/quote]
